How is Dynamic Multicast Optimization (DMO) implemented in an Aruba wireless network?

• A. DMO is configured individually for each SSID in use in the network
• B. The AP uses OOS to provide equal air time for multicast traffic
• C. DMO is configured globally for each SSID in use in the network.
• D. The controller converts multicast streams into unicast streams.

Answer: (A)

Dynamic Multicast Optimization focuses on reducing wireless airtime wasted by multicast traffic by delivering multicast as unicast to individual clients. In Aruba networks, this capability is enabled per SSID, not globally. You configure DMO for each WLAN (each SSID) you want to optimize, so the AP can convert the multicast stream for that specific SSID into separate unicast streams to the clients associated with that SSID. This per-SSID control lets you selectively apply DMO where it’s beneficial (for example, on video or multicast-heavy WLANs) without impacting other SSIDs that don’t need it. The conversion is performed by the AP for that SSID, not as a global controller-wide action, and it’s not about using a generic OOS mechanism.
